just look about you. Who are the
most given to this follyi Not the
intelligent and talented, but the
weak-minded and silly. Some of
the proudest men are those who
have nothing to look back to but
poverty and rags-whose parents
if they were now living, would pass
them without being noticed. One
OF the haughtiest men we ever
knew sprung from poor fiddler
another from a dancing master-a
third from a notorious william. AS
we look at the young men in our
cities, we find the most proud and
naughty of them are those who
were born in the country. When
they first left their homes they had
scarcely two shirts. to their backs.
Now they would scorn to speak to
those who make as sorry an appear.
ance as they did, when with COW
hide shoes, felt hats, and home
spun jackets, they were first brought
from the country. Reader are you

The Manufacture of Zee.

Ice can now be made artifcially
for 81 a ton, and the day is not fal
off when cold will be produced in
dwelling houses Just az heat is now
by radiaiors aud furnished through
street mains. 1t is even possible
that the same radiators which
serve for heating purposes in win
ter may serve for cooling purposes
in summer.
The business is a constantly
growing one, so much so that there
are how forty firms in the United
States making refrlgcrating ma
chimes. For the last six months
there has been one new plant for
making ice set up every day in the
month. Our New York manufact-
-Safsers send plants almost Meekl:llyiTltto

Seeds.

The trouble and loss occasioned
by foul seed purchased from seed
men have at last aroused farmers
to the necessity for protecting
themselves by insisting upon get
ting pure and fresh seed for their
good money. The business ofgrow
ms seeds is one that the farmer
himself cannot undertake. 1t is a
specially which can best be carried
on upon seed farms devoted wholly
to this separate industry. There is
no reason why pure seeds, wholly
free from seeds Of weeds and from
adulteration by foreign impregna-
tion, cannot aud should not be sup
piled to the farmer any more than
that the farmer should not supply
the seedmcn with batter adultera
ted with oleomargarine or plentl

are rights upon both sides, and the
farmers should Insist upon having
their rights in this respect respect

Literature Of the Hiss.

Sam Slick said a kiss WAS like

The Roman Empeyors demanded
to be kissed on The feet, and later
to have the ground before them

some terrible passages concerning
kissing. the extremes of which are
Mary Magdalene, so full Of love and
pathos, kissing the feet of the
Savior, and that OF Judas betray-

4 Lost Penny.

A mother gave her little boy two
bright, new pennies and asked him
what he was going to do with them.
After a moments thought the child
replied: 81 am going to give one to

from his play and told his mother

When to Eat Fruit.

The real place Of fruit is at the
beginning of feast, and not attbe
end, A better plan is TO make a
meal of bread and ripe fruit. The
best meal to make thus ara break
fast, lunch, or early tea. The bread
should be brown and dry and the
fruit ripe andraw Dry brown bread
cleans the tongue aud brings out
the flavor of the fruit. Butter on
the bread would give it's own fla
vor, for even the salt in the butter
weuld destroy the pure taste of the
fruit. Again, the fruit should be
raw, if possible, as many delicious
odors and delicate favors are lost
i'll cooking.-Chicago Tribune.
